Chin Chin are Frankie Binns, TC and Chris Cousin (aka SofaLofa on AI records) and officially launch their Deep-Water dingy with these sublime offerings of wistful and intricate downbeat folk-tinged electronica. The debut long-player 'Shallow Dive', due in the new year on Deep-Water, is set to empty dance floors across the globe as listeners head for their sofas and flotation tanks to soak up the extremes of lo_tempo trickery it contains. Their sound nods at the likes of Four_tet and Matthew Herbert, but with an intimate acoustic tinge, garnered from years of playing live.
Their roots in live performance are sunk deep into loungecore-folk, but since stumbling across one of those computer things the ‘-tronica’ element has been added. Chin Chin are very much live performers, shaping manipulated live textures with slices of guitar, piano, melodica and, of course, the amazing vocal tones of TC. This year’s shows at The Big Chill and Summer Sundae festivals were lo_temo hi_lights of the highest order.
Essex boys turned Teutonic electronica legends ISAN of Morr Music fame couldn’t help getting their scissors stuck into shallow dive managing to find the time to craft a remix of true beauty in between performances in Berlin and Japan.

This release, and the album ‘Shallow Dive’ (released March ‘05) are supported by specially commissioned videos produced by Bathysphere and a series of live shows (check press for details)
